How to Make Tiramisu

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee (cooled) and 2 tablespoons of Kahlua or other coffee liqueur (optional).
  2. Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they're moistened but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar (or superfine sugar, adjusting to your sweetness preference), and beat until combined.
  4. In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs. Gently fold the beaten eggs into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
  6. Dust the mascarpone layer with 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Repeat the layers: Dip remaining ladyfingers in coffee mixture, arrange over the cocoa powder layer, then spread remaining mascarpone mixture over the top.
  8. Dust the top of the tiramisu with remaining cocoa powder.
  9. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
